In a heart-wrenching discovery, the bodies of two sisters, Femala Purwikosari (45) and Yuyen Febryanasari (43), were found in their residence at Desa Rembang, Ngadiluwih, Kediri, East Java. The sisters had reportedly been living in isolation for a significant period, rarely leaving their home.
The grim discovery was made by neighbors who noticed a strong odor emanating from the house. Concerned, they alerted local officials and police from Ngadiluwih Police Station. Upon entering the residence, authorities found the sisters’ bodies in a bedroom.
"The two victims are indeed sisters," revealed AKP Fauzy Pratama, the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit at Kediri Police, who spoke to detikJatim. "They had been living together in the house for quite some time."
Initial investigations have ruled out foul play, with no signs of violence found on the victims. Police are currently exploring other possible causes for the sisters’ demise.
"At this point, we are still investigating the cause of their death," Fauzy stated. "However, based on information from neighbors and family, it’s believed that both sisters may have been suffering from depression. The precise cause of death remains pending further investigation."
The bodies have been taken to Bhayangkara Regional Hospital for an autopsy. The families of the deceased have consented to perform a post-mortem examination, which will hopefully shed more light on their tragic demise.
